<a name="id-1.2.3.3"></a><h2>Compiling against the bad plugins libraries</h2>
<p>
To compile against these libraries, you need to tell the compiler where to
find the header files and libraries. This is done with the
<span class="application">pkg-config</span> utility.
</p>
<p>
The following interactive shell session demonstrates how
<span class="application">pkg-config</span> is used:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
$ pkg-config --cflags gstreamer-plugins-bad-1.0
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -pthread -I/usr/include/gstreamer-1.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/libxml2
$ pkg-config --libs gstreamer-plugins-bad-1.0
-Wl,--export-dynamic -pthread -lgstreamer-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lgthread-2.0 -lxml2 -lpthread -lz -lm -lglib-2.0
</pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Note that, because of the number of libraries provided in this package,
the pkg-config information <span class="emphasis"><em>does not add -l flags</em></span> itself
to choose the libraries to link to.  You must add these yourself to select
which of the libraries you want to use.
